I’ve been slacking pretty hard, but I have good reason. I successfully went apartment hunting, had a couple of DJing gigs, and then I got super ill, as in in a cold or flu. You would think I may have spent some of that downtime wisely but mostly I messed with openFrameworks and cocos2d (hint hint) and watched a ton of movies. I also played with my iPhone.
Assassin’s Creed 2
I saw that this game was free for a bit so I downloaded it and loaded it up. Wow! Nice custom menu UI. I registered and account and went through the tutorial. Now I’m pumped. Quick game it is! Oh.. it crashed.
Well, whatever. A lot of games crash the first time you play it after installing (thanks apple?). So I reloaded it, and it hangs, and crashes, and I never got to play. Maybe there aren’t enough people on it yet or something, but I give 0 out of 5 stars because I can’t friggn play it, and if I shelled out $3 I would be sort of pissed.
Noby Noby Boy
The newest franchise from Keita Takahashi (who apparently doesn’t have a web page?) is Noby Noby Boy, and it is weird. I’ve played the PS3 version, usually while quite elevated, and even then I couldn’t figure out the weirdness, but it definitely left an impression on me, which most games cannot. The iPhone one is similarly weird, and the charming translations, graphics, and sfx make it a must own, 5 out of 5 stars. I still can’t figure out what you are supposed to do though.
